Installation Guide

1. Ensure the rack is powered down before removing or installing terminal blocks
2. Prepare wires by stripping insulation to the cage clamp specification
3. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to actuate each cage clamp opening
4. Insert the wire fully and release the screwdriver to secure
5. Repeat for all 40 positions as required by the wiring diagram
6. Verify seating by gently pulling each wire to confirm retention

Selection Tips

• Choose BMXFTB4000 for 40-pin cage clamp applications on X80 modules
• For 20-pin applications, select BMXFTB2000 or BMXFTB2010
• For 28-pin applications, select BMXFTB2800
• Verify your specific I/O module requires a 40-pin terminal block
• Order spare terminal blocks to minimize downtime during maintenance
